Ashcroft
Continued from Page 1
“Advise and
consent doesn’t
mean advise and
rubber stamp,”
said Vermont Sen.
Patrick Leahy, the
judiciary Com
mittee’s senior
Democrat and
temporary chairman.
Democrats opposed to Ashcroft’s
nomination say his conservative
opinions are ill-suited to the job of
being the nation’s top law enforcer.
“Right now we need a healer in
ASHCROFT
Washington, in the form of our pres
ident,” said Sen. Barbara Boxer, D-
Calif., on ABC’s “This Week.”
Boxer, who has announced her
intention to vote against Ashcroft,
said of him: “This is an extremist,
not a healer.”
Most Democrats were more cir
cumspect than that, including Leahy.
He called Ashcroft a “divisive
choice” by President-elect Bush, but
disagreed with critics who have tried
to paint the former Missouri senator
as a racial or religious bigot.
“I think all of us who know him,
know that charge would not stick,”
Leahy said on CNN’s “Late Edition”
of either allegation.
Ashcroft's confirmation hearing
before the Senate Judiciary Commit
tee, where he once was a member,
begins Tuesday.
Interest groups are piling on. On
Sunday, the board of the National
Association of Criminal Defense
Lawyers took what it called an un
precedented step in voting to op
pose Ashcroft.
“Ashcroft’s legacy on criminal
justice issues is demagoguery and
opportunism,” said Edward Mallett,
the group’s president.
Evers, a former mayor of Fayette,
Miss., was a Mississippi delegate to
the 2000 GOP convention.

Everyone lives by faith
Jeff Kempf, Editor in Chief
Some people object to faith in
favor of reason. But how do we
know there is such a thing as
reason? (Certainly not by
reason!) Only by faith do we
know that reason exists. So we
see that even reason itself is
based on faith, and those who
say they live by reason actually
do live by faith of some kind.
Are you interested in getting
to know God? He loves all
persons. He loves you and me.
Almost 2000 years ago, he sent
his son Jesus Christ into the
world to die on the cross for our
wrongdoings and sins and
return to life through the miracle
of the resurrection.
God’s plan for each of us is
that we turn away from our sins
and believe in Christ. When we
do this, God forgives us and
gives us fellowship and eternal
life with himself. You can
become a Christian right now
wherever you are. Tell God that
you are sorry for your sins and
that you here and now accept
Christ as your Savior and Lord.
As soon as you have received
Christ, you may be sure that he
has forgiven you of every sin and
has given you eternal life. You
may be sure that God wilt lead
you by his spirit in the way that is
good and right. Make friends
with other Christians. Meet with
them for worship, prayer, and
Bible study. Make a habit of
reading the Bible. Start with the
gospel of John. And may God
bless you!
